A lesson in Futility - Part One by Geniu$ 4-30-02

Hey Karen, what's going on? I thought you had a date with Alan tonight. Oh Craig, he used me, I found out that he's been seeing Caroline behind my back. That's terrible Karen, what a bastard, are you sure he's cheating on you? Yes, I saw the two of them together, they were kissing, I just ran away crying. aww, come here and give me a hug, does he know you know? yes, he saw me and tried to phone, but I switched my mobile off.

I'll tell you what, go and change into your comfy clothes and I'll make some hot chocolate and we can watch a film.  ok  later: Craig's so understanding, he's always there for me. it's a shame for Karen, she's such a nice girl and yet she's always getting fucked over by complete bastards.

A lesson in Futility - Part Three by Geniu$ 4-30-02

*DING DONG* I'll get that Karen, you just stay here. thanks Craig. Alan? You bastard, if Karen weren't upset enough already I'd kick your arse right now! look, tell Karen to phone me, she's got it all wrong! I'm not telling her anything Alan you bastard, now fuck off before I make you! I'll come back later, when you're not here!

A lesson in Futility - Part Four by Geniu$ 4-30-02

Karen, you deserve better than Alan, you're a great girl. but I really loved him, he was so nice to me. he wasn't, Karen, trust me. he's a bastard, forget about him, he's no good for you. I know you're right Craig, but I still love him. don't let him talk you into taking him back. don't worry, I won't.

A lesson in Futility - Part Five by Geniu$ 4-30-02

Ah, the old classics.

You know, they called those things "Soap Operas" because they played incessant soap commercials during the breaks. Does that mean we get to call them "Douche Operas" now?

incest soap?

May I suggest a book for you? It's called...

yes I would like a Light Race.

Nice series. Making us wait five strips without any real punchline reinforces the tragedy of the final line.

But... why is the sky inside their house?

---
The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

It hurts me to admit it, but that was excellent.

By the way, is there some rule governing which comics you do as Geniu$ and which as Kajun? Or is it arbitrary?

I'll take this question for you Kajun, as he said somewhere else, he's making comics as Geniu$ until he gets his precious little character which he can put in comic 300.

---
I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

I probably should point out that the entire premise of this series is a rip-off of Kajun's first series , minus Gareth McChauvinist and the word "ug"

Right. Which is why I mentioned that it's one of the "classics."

Family Ties - Part One by KajunFirefly 5-26-02

At Hopper's lawfirm: Good morning Jackie, do I have any calls? No Mr Hopper, but there is a gentleman here to see you, he's waiting in your office. you just let him into my office? did he say who he was? uh, no, he didn't really have to, I think you might want to go and see for yourself. I have a bad feeling about this, cancel my 1 o'clock yes sir, I'll tell him to pull his pants up and leave.

Family Ties - Part Two by KajunFirefly 5-26-02

Good Morning Sir, what can I do for you? don't you recognise me Craig? look closer. James? Yes Craig, it's me, your twin brother!

Family Ties - Part Three by KajunFirefly 5-26-02

James, but how are you here? I thought you dissapeared at sea during that freak storm exactly 5 years ago today! No, I have spent the last few years travelling around the world in search for some answers, I vowed I would avenge my father's death, and I wont rest until I do! but dad killed himself, what are you going to do? dig him up and kill him again? come on Craig, surely you, a high paid lawyer, should have your doubts about dad's death, nobody would kill themselves with a can of gasoline and a match. sure they would, dad WAS quite insane. Yes, but how did he manage to pin the suicide note to himself without it burning?

Family Ties - Part Four by KajunFirefly 5-26-02

So in your years of searching, have you mananged to get close to the truth about dad's death? yes Craig, I know how it happened, this may shock and disturb you, but I believe that dad was killed.... BY ALIENS! Aliens? yes, and tomorrow I blast off to Mars to destroy their planet!

Family Ties - Part Five by KajunFirefly 5-26-02

look James, I can't let you do this, it's too insane. I've lived the lie for long enough. Your dad DIDN'T commit suicide years ago. In fact, he's still alive today. James.... I am your father. b-b-b-but if YOUR my dad, then what happened to Craig? he's over there! hi!

*laugh* Gold punchline!

This signature has performed an illegal operation and has been shut down.

Outstanding punchline Kajun. Outstanding!

"Life Sucks, Then you Die. The bit inbetween isnt very funny either"

Wow, really?

I've never been good at punchline humour, that's why I tend to rely on serials to get one, slow laugh, as opposed to an instant gag.

that punchline is funnier than all of my comics combined.

but so is dog shit.

The Price of Love - Part One by KajunFirefly 8-24-02

Paul and Lynne are engaged to be married: Oh Lynne, I can't wait for the day when I can call you my wife. Yes Paul, I can't either, I love you so much. Everything will be perfect, our new house, your new job, it's so wonderfull. Yes, it's like all the pieces of my life have just all suddenly fallen into place. I'm just going out into the garden to check on the dog for a moment, I'll be right back sweetums. Okay, I'll be right here, missing you, love pancake!

The Price of Love - Part Two by KajunFirefly 8-24-02

Outside: That's odd, I could have sworn I tied Benjy to the post out here. AAAAAHHHH!!! LYNNE?? *thud* Oh dear God no, Lynne? Lynne? Answer me! OH PLEASE LORD NO!!!

The Price of Love - Part Three by KajunFirefly 8-24-02

Lynne, please wake up, my life is meaningless without you, oh God no, who would do this? WHO? I swear to you Lynne, I will find the person who done this and I will avenge your death, don't worry jelly bean! *gurgle*

The Price of Love - Part Four by KajunFirefly 8-24-02

At The Docks: William? What the hell are you doing in town? Oh, uh, I was here on business, I'm leaving now. Somebody broke into my house and killed Lynne, I have sworn to avenge her death, it wasn't you, was it? Yes. What do you mean "Yes"? I mean, yes, I killed her.

The Price of Love - Part Five by KajunFirefly 8-24-02

But William, why? Why did you kill her? She was my reason for living, she was my morning, my noon and my night, I loved her more than life itself. She cheered me up when I was sad, she kept my feet on the ground, she was my inspiration, my muse, my motivation. She brightened up my darkest days. She was all that ever kept me from losing hope, she balanced out my life, she was my one true love, my partner, my best friend and more. Yeah well, she owed ME five bucks.

I just read all these and they're great! The idea to use pablo as all the characters is, appropriately, Genius.
